Sorry, but this is total fiction. Again, no FMJ bullet in the known history of forensic science has deposited a fragment, much less multiple fragments, at/near the entry point when striking a skull.
And you get this bit of wisdom from where, exactly?

JFK Assassination Plus General Discussion And Debate / Re: Tippit Shooting 1:15-1:16

Some other things to keep in mind about the Tippit shooting:

-- When Mrs. Roberts last saw Oswald after he left the boarding house, he was standing near the street. She looked out the window a short time after Oswald left the house and saw him standing near the street, not speed-walking toward the Tippit scene.

-- Initially, the murder weapon was firmly identified as an automatic pistol, not Oswald's revolver. The person who identified the weapon as an automatic pistol was a Marine combat veteran and an experienced policeman, Sgt. Gerald Hill. Hill based his automatic-pistol identification on the shell casings. As any firearms expert can attest, it is very easy to distinguish between automatic shells and revolver shells. Additionally, in a 1986 interview, Hill said he knew the shells were .38-caliber shells because he picked one of them up and examined it. This is significant because .38 automatic shells are marked ".38 AUTO" on the bottom. Hill specifically said he looked on the bottom of the shell that he examined. It is no wonder, then, that Hill got on the radio and said, "the shells at the scene indicate that the suspect is armed with an automatic .38."
Standard ammo nomenclature puts the bullet caliber first followed by a description that identifies a specific cartridge. For instance, in .38 caliber, there is .38 Short Colt, .38 Long Colt, .38 Smith&Wesson, .38 Special, .38 Auto, .38 Super .38 Super Comp, .38 Casull, etc.

After it's introduction circa 1900, .38 Special has been almost ubiquitous for that caliber, to the point were just saying ".38" has become almost universally understood shorthand for ".38 special."

So when Hill says "The shells at the scene indicate that the suspect is armed with an automatic 38, rather than a pistol," it should really be read as "automatic .38 special."
Also, notice that he has to add "rather than a pistol" to indicate that the gun is a .38, but not the .38 that would be expected from his description of the shells.

One might argue that .38 special was designed for revolvers. This is true, but not the whole story. In the first decades after WW2, a number of automatic pistols were chambered in .38 special and became somewhat popular, especially among target shooters. The most famous of these is the S&W model 52.

Oswald's first shot at pseudo Z105-110 ricocheted off the overhead signal arm & the jacket split off into two pieces and were found in the limo.

LOL!

  What do you mean by "enhancement"? What EXACTLY did you do to that image? Did you add that antenna to the image?

Here's a side by side with and without enhancements...
Yeah, it's just as obvious what Zapruder is doing in the frame... talking on a walkie...

Oswald's first shot at pseudo Z105-110 ricocheted offa the overhead signal arm & the jacket split off into 2 pieces (found in the limo), & the main lead slug (never found) made a hole in the floor of the limo, & some of the lead splatter lodged in/on the top-back of jfk's head (xrays).
I doubt that any FMJ bullet ever left any lead (from the butt of the slug) on the outside of a human head/skull when passing throo the skull (when not tumbling)(ie at shortish range) .
No FMJ bullet ever fragmented when passing throo a human skull (fresh skull or old/ dry skull) when entering & passing throo high up on the skull (when not tumbling)(ie at shortish range).

I assumed that would be obvious to most...

Morley is not saying: "We need a fuller historical understanding of events surrounding the assassination. About what the CIA was doing. Or possibly doing. There are hints that perhaps something worse happened. Acts of omission or acts of commission. Let's find out and hold people accountable."

That is fine. No one objects to that. But he is not saying that.

He says this: "The CIA killed JFK and framed Oswald. And covered it up.  Angleton and Joannides and others committed treason. These documents will show it. That's why they are being held."

And when they are released and don't show what he claims, we should just shrug our shoulders and say "Well, he means well"?

He's not asking questions; he making very serious claims. And when those claims are shown to have no basis what should we do? Just give him a pass?

Every time Morley's falsehoods and smears are exposed as being just that you use the "Don't you want to hold the government accountable?" dodge. Whenever Morley has said release this or release that we say, "Yes, release them. The AARB files, Joannides personnel files. Whatever. Release them all."

For the nth time, release Harvey's files. Joannides files. No one here is saying otherwise. There. Satisfied?

Now do you want to address the points that Fred and others have made about his allegations? Or do you not care? What's amazing is that you ignore what Morley says, what he claims people did, what document "X" or "Y" will show. He accuses people of murder, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, framing innocent men, and essentially treason.

And when his claims are found to have no basis, when the evidence he claims shows this are produced and they don't show it, you don't care.

We get it Jon: You leftwing conspiracists want to get the CIA. Fine, in some cases you are correct about it. But stop using the assassination as an instrument to do so.

Far-Right Trump supporters are just as bad.

As I said somewhere earlier, one of Morley's main writers at JFK Facts (sic) is Chester "Chad" Nagle, Jr., a MAGAT if there ever was one.

  Even the WW 2 Walkie Talkies had much heavier gauge antenna's than we possibly see on this image. A skinny antenna such as we see here would break off in nothing flat.

That is only an enhancement... as is the outline of his hat... to help orient the view...
